Implantação da metodologia manutenção produtiva total para o aumento da eficiência dos setores de manutenção e produção de uma mineradora no Ceará

Abstract

The importance of the maintenance sector has been gaining more attention from the organizations, failing to be seen as a source of losses to generate profits, evidencing the correlation between maintenance and production. Over the decades, several techniques and methodologies have been implemented and modified, one of them is Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), which can be reached by means of the support pillars of the TPM. The mining sector, specifically the material processing industry, requires a lot of manufacturing equipment for the production of mineral goods, these equipment suffer from unhealthiness conditions of use, operating normally at their limits. The objective of this study is start the TPM methodology in a mining company, using quality tools for its development and analyze the results obtained by comparing the indexes collected before and after the project. The methodology used in this work is a action research, with the intention to produce information and knowledg of more specific use. The result obtained in this study, was the reduction of index of corrective maintenance, increase the equipment availability index and increase production. At the end, suggestions and possible improvements are made for related future works.
